Roxane Métayer ~ Éclipse des ocelles

Multidisciplinary artist Roxane Métayer’s debut album is like a dream of ageless folk music, every droning harmony an intuitive insight of the natural world as it has bloomed and died again and again under a timeframe more mineral than organic.

Spring Music Preview 2021 ~ Experimental

Creativity is one of humanity’s greatest assets.  If not for the imagination, our world would grow stagnant and dull.  Art is a counterbalance to forces that blunt and degrade the mind and spirit.  We’re fortunate to be part of an

Hara Alonso ~ Somatic Suspension

Somatic Suspension, like its title suggests, is a product of its time. An examination of detachment and stillness. Full of unease. Deeply personal. Without the movement demanded by our socialising, our commutes, our routines, we have been sedentary. Blessed with

Mattia Loris Siboni ~ Quiet Area suite

Mattia Loris Siboni asks, “how many types of silence exist?”  The framework is reminiscent of Deborah Underwood and Renata Liwska’s The Quiet Book, which explores quiet ~ and silence ~ as multi-nuanced entities.  One suspects Siboni would enjoy The Quiet Book, as the

Machinefabriek ~ With Drums

In prior years, we’ve described Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) as prolific, creative, visionary, and a host of other terms ~ but this is the first time we’ve described one of his releases as fun.  When label and artist proclaimed that With Drums “doesn’t sound

Dirch Blewn ~ Condensations & Fusings

Aries Mond ~ Gaps and Shortcuts

“Would some people be crazy enough to throw sand to the sky and take pictures until something happen(s)?”  This is the question asked of Aries Mond concerning cover artist Claire Droppert, who tags the image, “creatures are born in frozen moments of weightlessness.”

trajedesaliva ~ Ultratumba

Ultratumba (Afterlife) is a study in contradictions that begins with the Goya-esque paint of Emile Legarde. The cover portrait is ugly yet alluring, disturbing yet entrancing, with what most would call “pretty” colors (cerulean blue) used to portray a dysfunctional family.
